Small Haul


So I recently went shopping and I have a small haul! This is actually my first haul! YAY! I wanted you guys to see what I got and get your comments and questions on the products. (: Here we go!

1. EOS Lip Balm in 'Lemon Drop' - This smells so, so, so good! And its moisturizing qualities are amazing! My new favorite lip balm, hands down.

2. Maybelline's Dream Mousse Blush in 'Soft Plum' - After hearing so many people rave on and on about the Dream Mousse Blush in 'Peach Satin', I knew I had to try it. But when I did, the color was too light for me. This color is amazing, the texture is so smooth and soft, and the shimmer just perfect. This is the perfect cream blush for summer.

3. Covergirl Natureluxe Silk Foundation - Because of the amazing variety of colors, it took me literally two days to find my perfect color. (I had to return the first two colors I had purchased.) This is amazing, has great coverage, and feels amazing on the skin. I am in love.

4. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipcolor in 'Coralberry' - Have I mentioned that I'm sort of in love with peaches and corals this year? This is an amazing color! It has taken me at least two months to find a pretty coral that wasn't too frosty. I plan on wearing this often.

5. Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in 'Papaya' - I put this on as soon as I bought it and worked it into a tutorial as well! It has amazing pigmentation (even more than the lipstick!) and is very light on the lips. The formula is not sticky at all and the packaging is adorable. This is my new favorite product.

6. The bracelets (the first and last in the column) are from Aeropostale. They have a very homemade, simple look to them and they look great stacked together. I love them. Also, the turquoise bracelet I got from a local street market. I love it, it can worked into practically any outfit!

So, that's it! Tell me if you'd like me to do more hauls. (:

DIY: Snazzy Sneakers

I know this is a mostly beauty related blog. But I recently broke out my Sharpies, colored all over my Converse, and realized that you guys might like to see the results! So, here you are. (: I am pretty pleased with the results and can't wait to wear them!

What You Will Need;

- A pair of sneakers you can color on

- Black Permanant Marker

- At Least 3 Colorful Permanent Markers

- Wet Papertowel

1.Take the wet paper towel and wipe down the white part of the sneaker. If that doesn't clean most of it up, try using nail polish remover. Then, wait until it dries.

2. Take a sharpie and make small shapes, such as triangles and rectangles, all over the sneaker. Make sure they "fit in" with each other.

3. Color in the shapes so that no color touches the same color. Try to keep the colors evenly spaced out.

4. Wait until they dry and show them off!

Nature Photography

As the weather changes where I live, I've found more and more opportunities to get outside with a camera. These are a few of the pictures I've taken. Hope you guys like them. (:
